of a cat and yarn

First, the yarn...

You know what that little ball of yarn means, right?

Of course you do!!

And now for the cat...

...my little helper.

Of all the umpteen shots I took, this was far and away my favorite, of course!

How could I not choose the image with his little paw in it.

The socks are finished.

There was actually much more yarn remaining than this (~15g), so don't fear

running out of yarn if knitting an average sized pair of socks (~85g), prob'ly even a largish pair.

Sometimes, when I'm using a new-to-me yarn,

I divide the skein into two balls and knit toe-up to prevent surprises.

And now I have 4 pairs of socks in the queue waiting for official glamour shots.

Sigh. Hope springs eternal that I'll get it done.

Look at who's at the other end of that sweet paw...Mr. Skittles, our neighbor's cat!

This is a rare moment when he held still long enough

for me to focus AND take the shot.

He's always on the move!!

Time spent with cats is never wasted.
